Growing up, we never knew our neighbors, so I love that we all know and talk to eachother where we live now! We even have a facebook page for our street where we post warnings about shady people in the neighborhood or ask people to watch out for a package. Someone recently mentioned doing a block party on the fourth of July and I am SO excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-798141 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:03:21 +0000 heffalump 798141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One.

We love our new neighbourhood!</p> <p>To the Bees--why are you moving if you love your 'hood so much? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797874 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:52:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 797874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know the names of our neighbors in the 2 houses that live to the left of us! They both have kids around the same age as DD, so we're often hanging out/talking in the driveway after work while the kids play in the cul-de-sac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797867 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:51:23 +0000 yin 797867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only know the names of our neighbors who live close by -- about 5 houses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797858 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:49:35 +0000 Boheme 797858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: That is hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797857 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:49:24 +0000 Boheme 797857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of them! We live in a 31 home subdivision, and DH is head of our property owners association, and he mows a lot of people's yards for them. I love it 95% of the time! The awkward 5% of the time is when he has to deal with a complain or dispute...but we really have great neighbors and a great little neighborhood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797852 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:46:31 +0000 banana 797852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons. We live in a family-friendly community and our street is a cul de sac. We probably know around 30 names. And they all know our family well too. We also know the names of their dogs too. We love our neighbors (except for one who is just a grumpy old man). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797851 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:46:18 +0000 .twist. 797851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm... my husband definitely knows more. he's lived in the neighbourhood since it was developed, as have a lot of our neighbours. I'm still learning our neighbours names who are right beside us. So, I'd say he knows about a dozen, and I know maybe 5. </p> <p>despite my horrible memory, we have a really great relationship with all our neighbours (including xmas gift exchanges (usually cards and baked goods). </p> <p>Funny story, when my husband first moved in, he noticed our one neighbour lady had cancer and been through chemo. She wore a scarf on her head and all that. He would often see her and her husband out and about and giving kisses and such. Then he started to notice the husband kissing another lady who often was with him at their house. He was so angry for the wife for a long time, and then realized that the wife was wearing wigs. They are our fav neighbours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-neighbors-do-you-know-by-name#post-797848 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:45:53 +0000 mrsjazz 797848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None!
